OR Democrats Refuse GOP Efforts To Broaden Corporate Tax Break

Senators rejected the effort in a party-line vote yesterday. Lawmakers last year voted to permit Nike to continue calculating its state tax bill based on the current formula, known as the single sales factor, even if the state changes the formula in the future.
